Assessing Measurement Repeatability of a Novel Anisotropic Phantom for Advanced Diffusion MRI Models. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose Diffusion MRI is widely used to characterize tissue microstructure, but standardization remains challenging, particularly for advanced models or regions with crossing fibers. Phantoms provide controlled environments to assess measurement repeatability independent of biological variability.

Brain Alterations Linked to the MPTP Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease Uncovered by Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. [PDF]
In MPTP‐treated mice, DKI and 1H‐MRS revealed increased hippocampal and thalamic diffusivity with reduced striatal Glu/tCr and Glx/tCr at 24 h. By 72 h, cortical, striatal, and thalamic diffusivity rose, with partial hippocampal recovery. Elevated Tau/tCr and hippocampal metabolite alterations paralleled neuronal loss and gliosis, supporting DKI/1H‐MRS
